There’s something magical about Thanksgiving. The comforting aroma of roasted turkey drifts through the house, laughter spills from the kitchen, and the table glows with warmth and abundance. In the middle of it all, there’s room for a simple ritual that elevates the holiday - sharing a pot of tea.
At Mark T. Wendell Tea Company, we believe tea is more than just a beverage. It’s a way to slow down, connect, and savor the season’s flavors. Our teas have been part of family traditions for over a century, and this Thanksgiving, we invite you to make them part of yours.
A Cup for Every Moment of the Day
Boston Harbour Tea
Imagine greeting guests with a steaming pot of Boston Harbour Tea as coats are hung and the first appetizers are passed. With its brisk, full-bodied flavor, this historic blend sets the perfect tone for a day of celebration.
Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl Tea
Between courses, when the table is filled with savory dishes and your palate craves something light, Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl Tea is the answer. Its gentle floral aroma feels like a breath of fresh air, balancing the richness of the meal with grace and subtlety.
Earl Grey
As dessert arrives - pumpkin pie, apple crisp, or pecan tart, few teas pair as beautifully as Earl Grey. It’s bright, citrusy bergamot cuts through sweetness, adding a refined finish to the meal and transforming dessert into a true occasion.
Hu-Kwa Tea
For the bold tea drinkers in your family, Hu-Kwa Tea is unforgettable. With its distinctive smoky notes, this legendary tea complements roasted meats and hearty stuffing, sparking conversation and curiosity around the table.
Decaffeinated English Breakfast
And when the evening winds down and stories linger by the fire, a pot of Decaffeinated English Breakfast ensures everyone can enjoy one last cup without worrying about a sleepless night. It’s the perfect closing note to a day well spent.

Brewing Traditions Made Simple
-
Black teas like Boston Harbour, Earl Grey, and Hu-Kwa shine when brewed in water just off the boil for 3–5 minutes.
-
Jasmine tea deserves a gentler touch - steep in slightly cooler water for 2–3 minutes.
-
For decaffeinated blends, brew just as you would a traditional black tea, adjusting steep time to your taste.
